Hi,

I think that is fair comment.

She didn't have much sympathy for Burton though,she was banned from the funeral as his last wife didn't want it turned into a meda circus,not by Liz herself,just the enormous publicity that followed her around.

She was slightly before my time and I didn't really get all the hype with her or Richard Burton to be honest. The lady suffered ill health for the last few years.
